This won’t take much winning. Loch Garman Aris won twice at Bangor last spring but is held by Eaton Miller on earlier running at Warwick. However, the latter turned in a shocker at Uttoxeter two weeks ago after a fair second on his reappearance at Taunton. DAENERYS STORMBORN showed some promise over fences in Ireland and again when third at Market Rasen recently. He’s been dropped 4lb since and Ben Godfrey’s claim is also in his favour. Ivilnoble deserves a change of luck but is edging up the weights again. Storm Force Ben looks the pick of the remainder.
